"Something is coming on the river bank." This time there was no need to remind him. Lin Shunyi, the captain on the deck, took the initiative and shouted. At the same time, he grabbed a heavy fire oil can in his hand, raised his arms and jumped hundreds of steps away; It burst into pieces and burst into flames in the reeds on one side of the river.
Then, guided by the rising flames and black smoke, the crossbows, muskets and gun positions gathered on the deck also readjusted their posture and formation; they continued to radiate towards the shore again; in an instant, they sprayed thinly and The missiles shot out were like pouring a large area of boiling water in the dense reeds.
Suddenly, intense hissing sounds like snake letters erupted one after another. As the grass was blown to pieces by the lead curtain and the rain of arrows, gaps appeared in patches. Suddenly, a creature using all four limbs, rolling and crawling, like a lizard-like human being, was revealed.
Although the remaining ones were quickly knocked down in the grass, there were still quite a few who rushed to the shore and jumped into the water like boiling water in a pot. Taking advantage of the short gap between reloading firearms and crossbows, he rowed his hands and feet with all his strength, and rushed toward the ships like arrows.
In the blink of an eye, amidst the exclamations and curses, there were sporadic lizard-shaped people, scratching the hull of the boat and scrambling to climb up. Then, just as they were about to reach Langgan, they were knocked over by swords and axes, or spears stabbed in the gaps.
But more lizards had already swam up to the blind spot where the ship's turntable cannon and wide-mouthed muskets could not reach, and they swarmed up to the side of the ship like ants; the reloaded fire muskets and crossbows came close to shoot, We can't let them fear and retreat even a little bit, and they will bite and fight into a group in a blink of an eye.
At this time, you can see the difference between soldiers in different sequences. Among them, the biggest reaction was undoubtedly the local Jinghu sailors; they panicked with fear, and some ran around on the deck in panic; then they were quickly knocked to the ground by the military academy who maintained order.
And those surviving soldiers who had participated in the previous battle were trembling all over; their faces were pale or faceless and they were shouting: "It's them!" "The demons and giant beasts are here again." Only a few people mustered up the courage. And holding weapons, he rushed to the side of the ship to support others.
Next came the armored soldiers of the right leading army guard. Although they had not seen many such battle formations, they were still well-trained, held licenses to catch guns, held crossbows and raised knives. They rushed to stand against the side of the ship and quickly formed the simplest formation. attack the defensive line; try to cover the radiating formation behind you.
Although they fought hard to kill and stab, the blood and flesh flying beside the boat were scattered like rain. From time to time, they were knocked down by the lizard-shaped people climbing up on the side of the boat, or knocked to the ground, rolling and struggling. They were bitten into a ball; but soon someone flew in to fill the gap without any pause.
The calmest ones were undoubtedly the laymen brought by Jiang Tian. They have rich experience in facing aliens for a long time, and they load and emit in an almost orderly manner. Only when a fish that slips through the net rushes in front of you, can you swing the fire gun with its own sharp blade, or turn it upside down and use the combined force to knock it down or knock it over.
But the most active and conspicuous performance is the expert team members assigned to each ship; they are covered in two or three layers of armor, wielding Mo Dao, long Ke axe, thorn-headed spear, thick steel whip and other heavy weapons with a heavy weight; they will break into the deck like a majestic force. The aliens were smashed into pieces and swept away.
Although the specific number of people was not large, they were like the backbone and Tongdinghaishenzhen in the battle, quickly stabilizing the situation on the ship; and also allowing the sailors to calm down again. Block the aliens who try to get into the various gaps on the waterline and flood into the lower cabin.
But the battle with the lizards pouring out from both sides of Dui had not lasted long. The three small battleships lined up in front of them began to shake violently; they were obviously hit by the large pig dragons under the water. and tilted; suddenly some soldiers fighting beside the ship fell down.
He disappeared into the surging water almost instantly, leaving only a flash of blood. Immediately afterwards, other ships located behind were also hit and damaged from the water one after another; as the noise of gnawing and scratching on the bottom of the ship was heard for a while, most people's expressions changed.
You know, in this relatively open water area, once the ship sinks, it is thought that the situation has reversed, and the only end is to let these aquatic aliens and giant beasts wreak havoc on the fish. Therefore, the signals requesting to dock were almost simultaneously transmitted from the ships that were close together.
At this time, Jiang Tian, who had been unmoved, slowly stood up from his seat; but he looked into the depths of the reeds in the distance; in the sight of the armor lurking there, there were at least hundreds of ghosts. People, as well as more than a dozen strange beasts of different shapes, were rushing over through large reeds.
This unexpected discovery also somewhat disrupted Jiang Tian's expected steps; he also planned to wait and persist for a while, so that these aliens could hone the coordination of this temporary combination of troops. But now that new unexpected factors have emerged, there is no need to remain rigid.
Following Jiang Tian's thoughts, several silver-white crystal haloes flashed out from his side in an instant, and then spread and widened rapidly. They circled the ship for several times like lightning, and the lizards who were struggling to climb and bite broke into several pieces out of thin air with just one movement.
In an instant, the bloody rain of limbs flew and fell, as if several spiral-shaped bloody lines of death were drawn beside the ship. It also temporarily freed the three small battleships that were under the most intense siege, as well as other ships that were struggling to resist, for a moment to breathe.
Immediately afterwards, the silver-white stream of light flew down again, making a fierce roar against the water surface; one after another, it split into several lines of waves several feet high; and amidst the low wailing screams, it instantly penetrated and split. There were several of them in the water, taking turns hitting and overturning the gray and black scale ridges of the boat.
Immediately, the water surface was dyed into a large rolling area of bright red. However, these pig dragons with thick skin, thick flesh and solid scales did not die immediately. Instead, they completely lost control in the pain and rage, biting all living creatures around them at all costs, including the lizards that fell from the boat. and similar ones.
At the same time, Jiang Tian, who was manipulating a pair of flying blades, suddenly said: "I found you!". In the sight of the armored man who was searching on the shore, he also saw a hideous skeletal column hidden among the miserable weeds and decaying blackened wooden sheds, and kicked it apart.
And the lizards who gathered in groups around the ship seemed to have been frightened, or had lost their secret control and guidance. In the middle of the fighting, they started to turn their backs to the swords and guns, and regardless of fighting, they turned around and jumped back into the water, retreating like the tide.
However, it is not so easy for them to retreat calmly now. "Execute preset plan No. 5!" Following Jiang Tian's order, the flag officer beside him once again blew the whistle with different rhythms; at the same time, he turned into a signal soldier on the hanging bucket, and the small flag wavered fiercely. Semaphore exchange.
Later, in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces in the melee, the firearms that had never been used were quickly thrown into the battle. I saw corpses lying on the side of the ship, and they began to break away from each other one after another. While they were keeping distance from the aliens, suddenly a row of explosive bombs filled with gunpowder were thrown like raindrops.
With the shortened quick-burning fuses, they hit the lizards who were about to escape onto the river bank quite intensively; they almost exploded above and below their heads. Suddenly, a roaring firework exploded and his flesh and blood flew everywhere, his limbs were broken, and he fell to the ground covered in blood.
The lizards and other pig dragons who were still in the water and trying to dive were hit by another type of firearm. It was a specially-made delayed sinking mine made of a large thin cast iron shell and waterproof sealing wax; after a few breaths of pulling the fire and throwing it into the water, a large splash of water exploded.
There were also heavy bloody and broken corpses rolling up like springs in the obvious earthquake and impact at the bottom of the ship; in addition to the lizard-shaped people who were blown to pieces and shocked to death under the water; there were also several large ones with gray-white bellies turned over. Pig Po Dragon; although it seems to be in good condition, blood is coming out from all the acupoints.
In the blink of an eye, the offensive of these aquatic aliens and giant beasts was completely disintegrated. Immediately, the morale-boosted soldiers rushed to the side of the boat, fighting against the fierce target shooting in the water, or they put down the soldiers in the boat and carried out hook guns and spears to carry out follow-up attacks.
Therefore, after more than an hour of formation and inspection, this fleet full of soldiers was able to continue moving forward on the water filled with corpses; mainly because lessons had been learned in advance, and the waterline was vulnerable to attack and damage. Below, the reason for using thin iron plates to reinforce the bottom of the ship;
Therefore, in the end, only one heavily damaged transport ship was ordered to be stranded on the shore, while the original soldiers, manpower, supplies, and equipment on the ship were dispersed to other ships. On the other hand, the number of firearms shipped this time is limited and they need to be used at critical moments.
However, Jiang Tian suddenly raised his eyebrows; because in Ren Jia's field of vision, the ghosts and strange beasts who rushed to support them actually retreated back. This would not work. He also wanted to find out the potential origins and connections between these suspected beast worshipers and the Yunmeng Thieves.
Then Jiang Tian controlled the armored person with his mind, continuing to maintain the virtual state that made it easy to move quickly, and quietly and silently caught up with the small group of ghost people who fell at the end. Then he selected one of the unlucky ones who was running away from other similar angles; he instantly flashed and restrained the nape of his neck.
At the moment when it was struggling in panic, Jiang Tian twisted its head three times like a twist...and then began a continuous journey of sneaking, tracking and killing. Until the other party woke up, more than twenty ghosts had died in the meadows along the way.
But facing the armored man who neither breathes nor has the characteristics and smell of a living body, and sinks directly into the river and becomes one with the water and grass silt; whether it is a giant beast with sensitive senses, or an agile and flexible beast that retains a considerable IQ All the ghosts and people can only gain nothing.
Immediately under the command of the leading ghost man, they suddenly dispersed on the spot and divided into at least a dozen small groups, each leaving in different directions; however, in the sight of the armored man, there were several groups. After the ghost man ran away, he circled around in a big circle and stopped nearby.
Obviously, this is a trap and ambush for the trackers. Therefore, Jiang Tian separated the idea of remote control and waited motionless on the spot. At the same time, his body led a group of expert team members to the shore and followed the traces all the way to the nearby area.
